Sourcing actuel

Elderflower: May–June (hand-picked). Berry: late August – September. Juice concentrate and IQF allocated against the harvest by pre-book; dried flower and dried berry ship year-round.

Romania — Carpathian wild-collection + EU-Organic operators

Sambucus nigra grows abundantly across Romanian hedgerows, forest margins and the Carpathian foothills. Wild-collection under EU-Organic wild-harvest certification (Reg. 2018/848) is a major regional supply route. Flower (May–June) and berry (Aug–Sep) are separate harvest streams with separate buyers and separate price logic.

Central Europe (Austria / Hungary / Poland) — cultivated 'Haschberg'

Haschberg, the Austrian-bred processing cultivar, dominates European cultivated elderberry — uniform ripening, high anthocyanin and suitability for mechanical harvest and juice/concentrate lines. Central-European cultivated volume underpins the IQF and 65 °Brix concentrate trade; Carpathian wild lots serve the dried-flower and small-batch berry premium.

H2 2026 indicative pre-harvest range — not a quote. Berry and concentrate typically soften post-harvest (September–October) as new-crop stock reaches the spot market; dried elderflower holds a premium because the May–June bloom is labour-intensive hand-picking. Anthocyanin-spec lots (HPLC floor stated) hold the upper end through the cycle.

Contrôles qualité & spécifications

Elderberry is two products in one plant — flower and berry — sold to different buyers, and its single most important quality fact is a safety one: raw berries, seeds, stems and leaves contain a cyanogenic glycoside. Commercial juice, concentrate and properly dried material are heat-treated to remove that risk, so the processing step belongs on the specification alongside the anthocyanin assay.

  • Raw berries, seeds, stems and leaves contain the cyanogenic glycoside sambunigrin — commercial juice and concentrate are heat-treated; specify the heat-treatment step on the COA
  • Total anthocyanins (cyanidin-3-glucoside + cyanidin-3-sambubioside dominant) is the contractual quality anchor — request the HPLC value with fresh-weight or dry-weight basis stated explicitly
  • Green/unripe berries and stems must be removed — green-berry contamination raises cyanogenic load; set a visual defect tolerance on the spec
  • Juice concentrate ships at the 65 °Brix industry standard; single-strength juice ≈10–12 °Brix
  • EU-Organic wild-collection certification (Reg. 2018/848) requires a defined collection area plus operator/control-body ID on the COA
  • Heavy-metals (Pb, Cd) and pesticide-residue panel per EU Reg. 2023/915 — wild lots may need soil-linked cadmium screening
  • Microbiological panel (TPC, yeast & mould, Salmonella, E. coli) per EU Reg. 2073/2005 for dried and IQF forms

Questions fréquentes

Where can I source organic elderberry in bulk in the EU?+

TANDOR is a Romania-based sourcing intermediary connecting EU buyers to Carpathian wild-collection and Central-European cultivated (Haschberg) elderberry — dried berries, dried flower, IQF berries, single-strength juice and 65 °Brix concentrate — EU-Organic certified with a Certificate of Analysis per batch. We match the form (flower vs berry vs concentrate) to your application and specification.

Is raw elderberry safe to use directly?+

No. Raw elderberries, seeds, stems and leaves contain the cyanogenic glycoside sambunigrin, and uncooked berries can cause nausea. Standard commercial processing — juicing with heat treatment, or proper drying — removes the risk. Always confirm the heat-treatment step and that green berries and stems were removed; both belong on the COA and spec.

Haschberg vs wild Carpathian elderberry — which should I buy?+

Haschberg is the cultivated Austrian-bred standard — uniform ripening, consistent anthocyanin, suited to high-volume juice and concentrate. Wild Carpathian collection suits buyers wanting an EU-Organic wild-harvest story and is strongest for dried flower and small-batch berry. Decide the form (flower, berry, IQF or concentrate) against the application first, then the origin.

What anthocyanin spec should I write?+

Anchor on HPLC total anthocyanins with cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-sambubioside as the dominant compounds, stating fresh-weight or dry-weight basis explicitly. Avoid ORAC or '×-stronger-than' marketing figures — they are not a contractual quality basis and don't survive a lab dispute.

What's the harvest timing and lead time?+

Elderflower is hand-picked May–June; berries ripen late August–September. Concentrate and IQF lots are allocated against the harvest, so pre-booking 3–4 months ahead secures volume. Dried flower and dried berry ship from stock year-round.
